Of all the games the Oilers have played so far this year, tonight’s is by far the biggest.

"But why Wanye? It's just another game isn't it?" Are you kidding? The results of this game will cement our reputation with a bunch of strangers in Pittsburgh! Oilers win, they’ll all hate us. Oilers lose, they’ll all hate us. Who can live with the uncertainty!?

This is why gambling was invented by Eduardo Las Vegas in 1879—to make sports more interesting.
We took up the cause started by our boys over at jeanshortsandbaggedmilk, who have been deftly battling with this huge blog in Pittsburgh all by themselves.

We aren't going to leave our friends fighting solo. It's like in Junior High School when your friend would get challenged to a schoolyard fight. What do you do? You third-man-in and crack the kid in the skull with your Thermos! Take that Jeremy Tandrup, age ten. Don't mess with our crew. We have never been afraid to get involved in any nonsense that comes our way.

So we contacted these dudes at pensblog. They ignored our email. Then we chirped them. Then they claimed they didn't get the email. Then we went out of town and ignored them. Then made contact and the bet is cemented.

Why should you care about the game tonight? Oilers win, the pensblog will purchase the first two NationGear T-shirts off the line in Dec 2008; we’ll give them to two lucky citizens of the Nation. Oilers lose, we have to buy two of their T-shirts for giveaways to their fans. Oh and the loser has to write an article explaining the awesomeness of the winning city.

"But Wanye you don't got no money. You ain’t gonna pay for no T-shirts!" That's right Nation. Oilers lose tonight and your ol' pal Wanye is going to have to sell an eyeball. Ever see Pirate Wanye with an eye patch? It ain't pretty.

Oh and Justice League? We hear that Pens fans will be in attendance tonight.

It's even more of a boost to see a rookie out there playing with more grit than the entire team has in the last however many games.
I hope that shook some perspective into the rest of the team and they can carry it.

Man americn hockey fans are moron. Thise fools PB are convinced the reason the pens let in 4 straight is because the pens were to concerned with getting Sykora his hatty. I am sure that's what the talk on the bench was.

Crosby: I have enough points tonight, lets get Sykora his third.

Malkin: Way ahead of you bro, Peter already told me he is getting a rub and tug from the fat bitch in section 108 row 7 if I assist his hat trick.

Like a hooker leaving a week long orgy with a purse full of cash - it may have hurt but at least we have our dignity.

HAHAHA, wayne, you are one funny dude!!!!

Best 2 players tonight....Peckham, what a bout, he absolutly tuned that little pussy. Jdd, was he solid, or where the pens backing off at that point? I thought he played real well for getting thrown into the fire.
